Steven Spielberg

"I never felt comfortable with myself, because I was never part of the majority. I always felt awkward and shy and on the outside of the momentum of my friends' lives."

"People have forgotten how to tell a story. Stories don't have a middle or an end any more. They usually have a beginning that never stops beginning."

"The public has an appetite for anything about imagination. Anything that is as far away from reality as is creatively possible."

"Disney is the birthplace of imagination and has always been as close to the worldwide audience as any company ever has."

"I wanted to do another movie that could make us laugh and cry and feel good about the world. I wanted to do something else that could make us smile. This is a time when we need to smile more and Hollywood movies are supposed to do that for people in difficult times."

"Before I go off and direct a movie I always look at four films. They tend to be Seven Samurai, Lawrence Of Arabia, It's a wonderful Life and The Searchers."

"I've never used John Williams to tell people how to feel. I use John Williams to enhance my vision and my thoughts emotionally from scene to scene."

"Being a movie maker means you get to live many, many lifetimes. It's the same reason audiences go to movies."

"When you listen. you learn. You absorb like a sponge and your life becomes so much better than when you are just trying to be listened to all the time."

"I always like to think of the audience when I'm directing. Because I am the audience."

"I want to be the Cecil B. DeMille of science fiction."

"All of us every single year, we're a different person. I don't think we're the same person all our lives."
